1031 Basics: IRS Form 8824 Like-Kind Exchanges
The tax filing date for many taxpayers is just around the corner. The Internal Revenue Service Form 8824, Like-Kind Exchanges, must be completed and filed with the IRS every time a taxpayer performs a 1031 exchange. The IRS Form 8824 contains three sections related to a 1031 exchange:
- Part 1, Information on the Like-Kind Exchange;
- Part II, Related Party Exchange Information; and
- Part III, Realized Gain or (Loss), Recognized Gain, and Basis of Like-Kind Property Received.
